U.S. imports of non-upholstered seats with metal frames (nesoi) (HS 940179) totaled $122.8M in July 2026, traded with 71 countries.
Importers of Non-Upholstered Seats with Metal Frames (NESOI) paid $19.6M in duties in July 2026 — an effective duty rate of 19% on $101.0M in dutiable value, based on actual customs collections rather than the published tariff schedule. Non-Upholstered Seats with Metal Frames (NESOI) imports of $122.8M in July 2026 ran 27% below the year-to-date monthly average of $169.4M.
Last updated: July 2026 dataMetal-framed seats that are not upholstered span a wide commercial range under this heading — from outdoor patio furniture and children's highchairs to infant bouncers, swings, and activity centers — and imports from China are subject to Section 301 tariffs, making origin diversification to Vietnam, Cambodia, and Indonesia a priority for many US retailers and importers. The US schedule is unusually granular, with dedicated 10-digit lines for children's products (highchairs at 9401790001, infant walkers at 9401790002, bouncers at 9401790003, swings at 9401790004, and activity centers at 9401790006) alongside lines distinguishing household outdoor seating by cushion material. Correct classification between these lines affects both duty liability and CPSC product-safety compliance for juvenile articles.

CBP and USTR created dedicated statistical lines to track children's juvenile products (highchairs, walkers, bouncers, swings, activity centers) separately from adult household and outdoor seating, and to distinguish outdoor seats by whether cushions are textile-covered. Each line can carry different statistical reporting requirements and, in some cases, different Section 301 list applicability, so precise classification matters beyond just duty rate.
Juvenile products such as highchairs, bouncers, and infant walkers are subject to CPSC mandatory safety standards and may require third-party testing and a Children's Product Certificate (CPC) before importation. Importers should confirm which ASTM or CPSC standard applies to each specific product type and ensure test reports are current and from a CPSC-accepted laboratory.
